Want to Fish Superior. Help!!

[Guest]

I have next week off from work and I wanted to fish the big pond. Trout and salmon is open right? I need a trout stamp I know. Are the fish shallow? Can I use stick baits, or should I pull spoons? I normally fish Knife River, but I have had limited success (Not a thing). Please help. Any advise you give would be great.

Start off by pulling some stick baits along Park Point beach (shallow). Im guessing there will be others in that area.

I'm new to fishing the lake for trout as well. Is there times of day that are better than others?

I went out last Saturday afternoon and pulled on next to the boat, but it got off.

I've I had good luck with anything orange. All of the Coho's I've caught trolling have been on an orange spoon. I've seen the same results with Lake Trout in the BWCA also. Good Luck!

where is park point? Duluth? As for pulling Orange plugs should I use downriggers to get to 40-60 ft or use dipsy divers? Should I use planner boards, or just pull behind the boat? Can I go up the shore a bit from duluth? or is duluth area the best?

Orange can be a good color as well as olive green and fire tiger. Park Point is located directly on your right as you leave the Duluth Shipping Canal, and basically goes to the Superior, WI entry. Shallow on planner boards is the way I'd start, but a long lead behind the boat, and a very shallow set downrigger (10-15 feet deep) set the same might yield a fish or two as well. Good luck.

Thanks a buch. I really appreciate the help. As for the area known as park point. Do I need a wisconsin lisence or will a mn lisence work?

[Northlander]

You need a Mn. License and Trout stamp for Park Point and a Wi. License and Trout stamp for anything south of the Wi. entry. Thus the south shore.
If you launch in MN. you can launch for free but if you launch in Superior you will pay a small launching fee.
I would launch at the Garfield Ave landing under the high bridge. Free and a good landing with lots of parking. Its also centrally located.
